Philly was probably pretty high on his destination list, and it's not like the Flyers are known for cheaping out on guys. So if Philly wanted you enough to trade a 5th, they'll probably be willing to sign you to something starting with a 6, and you can go about enjoying your summer.
Now, someone's rights get traded to Edmonton or Buffalo, see you Canada Day.

Once Philly makes you that offer, it’s not going away July 1. I don’t understand the stress myself.
These trades don’t seem to happen in other sports. But the NHL isn’t known for being avant garde exactly.
